Hi,

Iam planning to travel to Myanamar about end of next Feb so would be please to hear from anyones experiences who has travelled there before (and no, I do not want to hear about the political situation etc, dangers blah blah). I have about 2 weeks so want to cover as much as possible doing the usual touristy things, but also check out the local talent!

I realise that the scene is entirely different to Thailand and am not expecting anything like, but would appreciate any info on gay friendly accommodation - not interested in upmarket - but also not on a tight budget - bars contacts etc. I had the thought of getting a local guide so if anyone has any info on that. Also are there any reputable tour operators in BKK specialising in Myanamar? I have checked out Utopia and Purple Dragon and may use one of their tours as part of the trip. Also info on visas, currency etc

 

Tks

I have used Purple Dragon for tours in Chaing Mai - Chaing Rai and Saigon. I think they would be good for Myaramar. They have an article about the topic in their latest newsletter at http://www.clubsanook.com/newsletters

which has some info that might interest you. Was at the golden triangle, but stayed in Thailand.
